Sheep

The weather has been hot and dry

The sheep have been enjoying eating the grass in the house yard.

And trimming the trees as well.

In the morning they are always ready to go back out to the big paddock.

I have been spinning lots of textured chunky yarn for the Arts Centre Market.

Quince Trees

We have 3 quince trees.

The trees were planted nearly 30 years ago.

This years crop isn't huge

The quinces on the trees are looking great.

Not long now.

Artichoke Colours

Love the colour combinations

Planning a new colourway.

Texture

Already a new plant is growing underneath the bleached flowers.

Summer has been very dry.  Even the dried out flower has possibilities for yarn colourway.

Some more Bunting

 

As well as the Christmas bunting I have made "beach scene" bunting.  I have made a few variations on the theme.

 

As well I have lots of new Christmas bunting for the Arts Centre Market on Sunday.

 

 

And mini bunting as well.

Afternoon at the Gallery

 

 

Last week I went to Melbourne to collect some supplies.  I finished my shopping before lunch on a very rainy day.

It is not often that I have a day off so I went to the National Gallery of Victoria for the afternoon.

 

 

 

I was by myself and just wandered at my own pace.

Love the colour combination. Idea for a new yarn colour way.
